Luigi Nicholas Mangione, a 26-year-old Maryland native and Ivy League graduate, was arrested in Pennsylvania for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot in New York City last week, as reported by AP News.
Thompson, 50, was killed in a targeted attack while walking to an investor conference. Investigators linked Mangione to the crime through surveillance footage, abandoned belongings, and a handwritten note expressing grievances against corporate America.
Mangione was apprehended after being recognized at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, carrying a weapon matching the one used in the shooting, fraudulent IDs, and $10,000 in cash. He faces charges of murder in New York and awaits extradition.
